COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Deep chestnut in colour this British style IPA offers a straight forward, no-nonsense approach to a classic style of beer. The late hop additions contribute floral and pine aroma’s that make this Matt’s personal favourite. The hop profile is not overpowering, starting crisp and fresh and building to a mellow, bitter finish. A generous dry hop emphasizes a green hop accent with an enjoyable aroma.

Pint at Ventis Taphouse..billed as Phat Matt’s English IPA. $4.75 per imperial pint. Nice golden ,deep and clear good sized white had. Quite a deep hoppy aroma forman "English" IPA..grassy,herbal. Again the taste is very agressivly hopped for the purported style but a pleasing Oregon IPA deep resiny,herbal hoppiness plus a good caramel malt back. I found this less "dank" then the regular PNW so maybe this should have been billed as a NEW England IPA. If you ignore the billing the mouth-feel was excellent Overall a good IPA but please this is not English style

Bomber. Malty caramel and grapefruit. A bit thin in places. Bitterness that stays on the back of your tongue.

raphael (746) - Portland, Oregon, USA - FEB 21, 2012
a different, kind of like cherry aroma over the citrus hop sting & caramel malt. light on the tongue but aromatic in the mouth. very little head on clear orange-yellow. hops tasting more resiny with some lemon, dry caramel, something more oblique than rounded about it.

Draft Sellwood Public House; Nice head more of an amber pour. Well balanced for and IPA had the hop and the piney flavor but finished without the traditional IPA bitter bite. It’s a different IPA but good.
